2
Physical factors that influence coastal landscape systems
How do these cliffs differ? What causes them to differ? The geology is different, which includes its lithology and structure. Lithology describes the physical and chemical composition of the rocks.
3
Physical factors that influence coastal landscape systems
How do these cliffs differ? The structure concerns the properties of the rock types, such as jointing, bedding, faulting and their permeability.
4
Look at this geology map
Look at this geology map. Discuss what you think the difference is between a Concordant Coast and a Discordant Coast? What impact does this structure have on the coastline?
5
How does the angle of bedding influence the profile of the cliffs?
6
Learning objectives: To describe and explain tides and their impact on the coastal landscapes. To describe and explain how geology and currents impact on coastal landscapes
7
Physical factors that influence coastal landscape systems
Geology 1) What is lithology and how can it influence coastal landscapes? 2) How can a rocks structure influence coastal landscapes? You can use diagrams.
8
Homework: Coastal sediment is supplied from a variety of sources.
Read pages and look at figure 1.11 on page 9. Describe how sediment is supplied to the coastal system. You must include: Terrestrial Offshore Human Copy diagram 1.11
